If there’s one topic that wrestling fans have thoroughly enjoyed debating over the past month or so, it’s whether or not LA Knight is a “ripoff” of Attitude Era legends like “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and whether or not that has any effect on his status as WWE’s fastest-rising “Megastar” […]

For the second time in as many weeks, Shayna Baszler secured a quick, entertaining win on Monday Night RAW, proving that she can be successful in-ring without Ronda Rousey walking beside her.

When Shawn Michaels made his debut for MSW all the way back in 1984, professional wrestling was a very different place.

The Miz has been a member of the WWE Universe for almost 20 years.
